Quest Atlantis
Help students understand social studies, environmental concerns, current events, and scientific standards. Quest Atlantis (QA) is an international learning and teaching project that uses a 3D multi-user environment to immerse children, ages 9-16, in educational tasks. This game is designed to enhance the lives of children while helping them grow into knowledgeable, responsible, and empathetic adults.
LavaMind offers a number of educational learning tools for both teachers and students. All of our business simulation games are youth friendly (in fact, it's hard to get students to stop playing them), while at the same time the core economic engine has a solid real-world foundation.

Gazillionaire

Gazillionaire is designed to teach students business, math and economics. It's being used in hundreds of classrooms all across the country, including social studies, economics, business and math courses. Gazillionaire is a business simulation where the player runs a trading company in outer space. In Gazillionaire, the player must make decisions about supply, demand, profit margins, overhead, account balances etc. Because of Gazillionaire's built-in, "award-winning" tutorial with adjustable complexity levels, it appeals to a broad age group and has been used in a wide variety of courses.

Zapitalism

Zapitalism is a sophisticated business simulation where the student runs a retail business on the imaginary island of Zapinalia. Zapitalism is targeted at older students who are ready to explore more complex math, business and economics. If you are planning a lesson for your class or teaching students at home using the computer, Zapitalism makes a perfect companion to Gazillionaire. Once a student has finished mastering the concepts found in Gazillionaire, he/she can move on to the more complex ideas found in Zapitalism. Zapitalism has been used in numerous high school and college courses.

Profitania

Profitania is the most advanced of the business simulations. In Profitania, the player manages and operates a factory in a subterranean world. Profitania is the final part of LavaMind's business simulation series and is designed for higher-level students. We recommend starting with Gazillionaire and working your way up to Profitania. Both the game's structure and concepts are more difficult to master than either Gazillionaire or Zapitalism, making this simulation the most challenging of the series.
